What Kind of Student takes Gilding Workshops?

Gilding StudentsStudents range from professionals in the field, professionals in an unrelated field, to interested amateurs. All kinds are welcome. Even if you have never seen a piece of gold leaf, much less handled one, you will have some kind of experience to bring to the class. Everybody does. Students learn from each other, and from each others unique talents. The job of the teacher is to bring out these talents, and to teach techniques. Our small groups facilitate a friendly and encouraging atmosphere, where creativity can be given full rein.
